Klopp - Why we chose La Manga

He says that there are plenty of things for his side to work on, and wanted them to get away from Melwood during the season.

Klopp told the club’s official website: “First of all, you might think it’s a bit cold for a ‘warm-weather’ training camp, but that’s a good thing because we didn’t want to go somewhere where it’s completely different to England in this moment, we only wanted to change the circumstances a little bit.

“We want to be focused on the work we do on the pitch especially, and of course we’ll use the opportunity to talk about a few things, how you always do in pre-season.

I think there’s not a lot of good things to say about having a two-week break in the middle of the season because it means we are not in cup competitions any more, but we have to accept the situation and try to use it.

“So that’s what we’ll try to do, we have today two sessions, tomorrow one and Saturday a kind of an internal game that’s only really for us to see a few things and do a few things, Sunday one session and then we leave.

“But I think you can always talk about things you need to fix, or you can create the situation where you can work on it and that’s what we’re trying to do here.

Melwood is a fantastic training ground but we are there for the whole year - since June, since we were in America, we’ve been there every day, so to come out and do a few different things I thought made absolute sense. The club gave us the opportunity to do it, and here we are.

“It’s a little pre-season, it’s only four days, a proper pre-season camp is maybe nine days but that’s for a whole season and this is only for 13 games, so it’s exactly the right time. We should use it.”

Wagner - Klopp can't help me against Man City

I like David Wagner.. but I have a bit of sympathy for him, too.

I’d like to see him be more than just Klopp’s mate. He’s a very good young manager, for a start. And tomorrow his side takes on Man City in the FA Cup.

He was asked what Klopp has done to help..

“Of course we have spoken,” Wagner said. “But there is nothing he can do or say to help us. What did he say? Good luck!

The problem is that he is Klopp and the manager of Liverpool. I am not sure that what works for him and Liverpool will work for Huddersfield against Manchester City.

“There is no doubt that we are underdogs, but this is football. When Huddersfield play Man City, is it realistic to win? No, it is totally unrealistic.

“But is it possible? Yes, it is totally realistic because it is football and nobody knows the result before the game.

“So we will play with total freedom because it is a different competition to the Championship. We are not totally blind, we can play football as well and the players are brave enough to play football as they can.”
